I Love...

...reading with B.

Can I still snuggle up in her bed and read to her when she's 15?
What about 18?...Cause this is one of my favorite things in life and I don't ever want to stop doing this!

When she's married though, we will really have to cut it down to once a week, maybe.
Well...twice a week at the most. But that's it.
Don't want the son-in-law thinkin' I'm a psycho.

I Love...

...date night. I love it a lot!

The hubs and I do our very best to take a date night once a week. Our night is Friday. Sadly, we are not on our date tonight because the hubs is sick. But all is not lost! We will still spend some intentional time together snuggled up on our very cozy couch. Also, there might have been some trash-talk regarding a potential game of Scrabble, but that could have just been my silly, girlish imagination running wild.

I've mentioned before that I would like to share my thoughts on why married couples should be dating as often as they can. And I still really do want to share those thoughts...if fact, I spent the last 30 minutes attempting to do so...but, there is just too much to say and I write way too slow to both persuade you to the habit of date night AND participate in my own date night tonight.

So, the hubs wins out...as he should, and you, I'm afraid will just have to continue living in deep, agonizing anticipation of my profound and intriguing date night blog post.

I Love Not...

...that my loves have been sick. :(

They basically spent all of Thursday right there.

Yes, she is eating soup in my bed. I know. Risky. Not sure what I was thinking. Luckily, it worked out. I didn't have to sleep in chicken noodle soup.

And we will not discuss how long my daughter spent on PBSkids.

Thankfully, they are both feeling better today.

Can't say the same for about half of Christ Community Church, though!
The flu is making the rounds. UGH!

And don't worry...I do have a Love for the day. I'll be postin' that this evening.
Hope you are well!

I Love...

...this precious souvenir that lives in my coat pocket.

In 2005, I went on a fabulous trip to London with the hubs. We went in the winter so I got this wool coat for the trip. Those little tickets in my pocket were our day passes for the Tube for one of the days we were there. Luckily, I didn't throw these two away and I discovered them in my coat pocket after we got home. Well, I just loved the reminder of our sweet time in London so there they've stayed these 6 years. Each fall, when it gets cold for the first time and I put on my coat, my hands inevitably make their way into my pockets and I find this little treasure. It makes me smile every time I feel them in my hands.

Sigh...

I loved that trip.

I Love...

...a kick-bootie bargain.

I walked out of the ladies' room at Macy's today and right in front of me was this shirt. Normally I would've kept on walkin', but I happened to lift my eyes just a bit and saw that this little number was hanging on the $4.99 rack.

Well, I'll try that little baby on for $4.99!

Now it's home with me.

See how it's kinda lacy?

I like it. It's kinda different from what I usually wear.
For $4.99 a girl can try something a little different, ya know?!

I Love...

...a quiet moment.

I don't always get all the quiet moments that I would like...but today it was very quiet for many minutes and I loved it!

Off to get the girl!

I Love...

...finishing a time-consuming project.

I first saw the idea for this wreath here, and completely fell in love. Then, recently, I saw a tutorial on how to do the little felt flowers (google: How to make a felt rose) and went to work on making my own. These pictures aren't great (the flash was making the colors look crazy) and for some reason I still like the Etsy shop ones better...but I still like it.

So...Question:
Which wreath do you like better?

Wreath with fabric flowers and buttons.
or

Wreath with a googillion felt roses.
(Keep in mind that the colors look better in real life AND I think I can get better at making this wreath...like the Etsy ones!...I hope!)

I was just wondering what you thought for future wreath-making. There are so many seasons and holidays in which my front door is naked, so I am on a bit of a quest to remedy that embarrassing situation. ;)
